Re: AIS Checklists,World of Iris etc.

Scott, John and Marilyn,

Thank you so much for your help with this.

Marilyn Harlow responded privately to me and I *promise* to be patient.

This sounds like an awful mess and my sympathies are with the board and
everyone else involved!

Your suggestion Scott to contact a local club is a good one...local for me
is 70 miles from here but hopefully I can get in touch with someone and
perhaps borrow material from the club.

Again, my thanks to all who responded...just so typical of all the
wonderful iris fanciers!
